Sorry I fell out of touch for a while, but now I’ve got some news that will richly reward your patience. I will be moderating this year’s “LGBT Comics, Creators, and Characters” panel at the New York Comic Con! Second-largest con (after San Diego) and still committed to comics (Goodbye, Hollywood!), NYCC will take place at the Javits Center on Oct. 8-10, 2010.
Open your eyes to the wide world of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender characters and creators in contemporary comics and graphic novels. Moderated by yours truly, the creator of the long-running gay-themed humor strip "Jayson," scheduled panelists include famed underground comix creator and graphic novelist Howard Cruse ("Wendel," "Stuck Rubber Baby," original editor of Gay Comix), Tim Fish ("Cavalcade of Boys," "Young Bottoms in Love"), Joan Hilty ("Bitter Girl," an editor at DC's Vertigo imprint), and Dan Parent (longtime Archie Comics writer/artist who created Kevin Keller, Archie’s first openly gay teen). Expect a lively discussion of this provocative subject with plenty of time for audience Q&A!
